On July 20, 1973, the White Sox and Yankees met for a doubleheader. Sox ace Wilbur Wood started Game 1 and faced six batters, got none out, and was charged with six runs in a 12-2 loss. Undeterred, he asked Manager Chuck Tanner to start Game 2. Wood had 18 wins heading into the All-Star break, and he’d won his last 8 against the Yankees — all complete games. Tanner agreed, and the strategy looked good when he retired the first 9 Yankees he faced. But it all unraveled again, resulting in a 7-0 loss and the second of the day for Wood.
